Solution

The correct option is A benzoic acid
In this reaction, the alkyl chain is oxidised to carboxylic acid in presence of oxidants like KMnO4 or chromic acid irrespective of the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
So the n-butyl benzene is converted into benzoic acid.
Hence option A is correct
